The Drew Central School Board held a special meeting Friday, to hire an attorney to represent them in a complaint filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by a former employee.

The employee, who was released last year as part of the district’s fiscal distress process, charges the district dismissed him because of his race, age and as a form of retaliation.

The board hired Paul Blume, who serves as general counsel for the Arkansas school board association, to represent the district.

The school is very limited on what they can release to the public, since it it a personell issue. 

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission can’t release any informaiton about pending cased, until a case is legally filed, under federal statutes of title 7 of the civil rights act.
